THORChain price in Australian dollars

The THORChain price shown above is quoted in Australian dollars and refreshes throughout the day. Over the last 24 hours RUNE is up 1.61%. Across the past week it is up 6.59%, and over 30 days it is up 7.48%.

Around A$111 million of RUNE changes hands globally in a typical 24-hour window, which matters more than most people expect: thin volume means wider spreads, so the price you pay on a small Australian exchange can differ from the headline figure. At a market value near A$321 million, THORChain is a smaller crypto-asset outside the top 100 by market value.

THORChain's highest recorded price is A$26.78. RUNE currently trades about 96.4% below that level. A long way below an all-time high is not by itself a bargain — an asset can stay down for years, and some never recover.

THORChain supply and market size

There are roughly 328.53 million RUNE in circulation today. THORChain has a hard cap of 353.90 million RUNE, so no more can ever be created beyond that limit.

Supply matters because price alone tells you nothing about size. A coin trading at a few cents with hundreds of billions of units can be worth far more in total than a coin trading at several hundred dollars. Always compare market value, not unit price, when you are weighing one crypto-asset against another.

How to buy THORChain in Australia

Buying RUNE with Australian dollars follows the same path as any other crypto-asset. You will need photo ID, an Australian bank account and an exchange that actually lists RUNE — not every AUD exchange does, especially outside the top 100.

  1. Pick an AUSTRAC-registered exchange that lists RUNE against AUD, and complete identity verification.
  2. Deposit Australian dollars by PayID or bank transfer. Card deposits are faster but usually cost more.
  3. Check the spread and the trading fee before ordering. A limit order gives you control over the price you pay.
  4. Place your order for THORChain, then record the date, AUD amount and fees — you will need them at tax time.
  5. For anything you plan to hold, move RUNE off the exchange into a wallet you control.

Risks worth understanding before buying RUNE

Crypto prices move far more than shares or property. A 20% move in a week is unremarkable for RUNE, and drawdowns of 70-80% have happened across whole market cycles.

THORChain is outside the top 100 by market value. Smaller assets are thinly traded, so getting out can cost noticeably more than getting in, and exchange delistings are a real possibility.

In Australia, disposing of RUNE — selling it, swapping it for another coin, or spending it — is a capital gains tax event. Keep records from your first purchase; reconstructing them years later is painful.

Coins similar to THORChain

THORChain sits in the defi tokens group. Tokens tied to decentralised lending, trading and staking protocols that run without a company in the middle. If you are comparing options, these sit in the same group and are worth reading side by side.
